When God put it in my heart to pray for Bob Dylan I did and something happened. When I think of Soros I pray that God stops him and hope people are made aware and turn to God for deliverance from the likes of him. Perhaps as an after thought I add “unless he repents and turns to You”. I’m not holding my breath for Soros.

It doesn’t work that way Doug you can’t only pray for one group and not someone else. Soros needs Jesus just as much as we need Jesus before we were saved. We are told to pray for our enemies and even those who hate God. We as Christians need to pray for people like Soros and even Mormons like Glenn Beck I mean we will pray Mormons see the truth and Receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord but not Soros there’s a big problem and disconnect there. We should pray for Soros, Obama, Kathy Griffin, Rosanne Barr, Joel Osteen, Oprah and many others. Soros needs to repent and turn to The One Who can save him and that’s Jesus.

I pray as God leads me to and there are some people God told the prophets not to pray for and the apostles told the brethren not to pray for. I pray God would destroy one person who is destroying others rather than let them destroy more innocent people. If God chooses to save him or allow him to go on murdering I accept it.

PS I believe seeking reassurance of who we are through another person or thing is idolatry. When we are wrong we need to get others to agree with us. I don’t need to be told who to pray for and you don’t need to ask others to agree with you except when asking for God to do something, not for reassurance.

We should never pray that God destroys them we were once enemies of God. Check out this Bible Verse. A Samaritan Village Rejects the Savior
51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, [j]just as Elijah did?”

55 But He turned and rebuked them, [k]and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 [l]For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.

You should always pray for whoever/whatever God lays on your heart. Each of us are different parts of One Body. We each do various ministries.

Should we as believers pray for Soros? By all means, if God lays that upon you.
Should we pray that God disables that which is disabling the Church? (i.e Soros) Of Course if God lays that upon you. God after all can sow confusion in the enemy’s camp.

Should we abhor Soros? No we are commanded to love not hate.
Should we abhor what Soros does. 100% yes

Is Soros evil? You will know them by their fruits. Eh?
Is Soros beyond salvation? No.

2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Amen I agree with what you said Brian take for example Muslims if our reaction to them is hate and not love then we have a heart problem because we were where Muslims are and Soros are which was hating God before He saved us but now we pray for the lost and no one is beyond the reach of God! Now I agree God is using Soros for His purposes but that doesn’t mean we can’t pray for Soros that he sees the truth and Receives Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord! But I also know that not everyone will be saved like the Bible says Only God know if Soros will be saved.

When right with God, you do not need to seek reassurance of who you are through another person or thing. 2 people can be wrong and getting someone to agree with you does not make you right.
Seeking reassurance like if you are not sure how to do something is not idolatry neither is asking about what you are not sure of. Going to a cigarette for good feelings when you are not instead of going to God for correction is idolatry just as going to another person to get agreement when there is something wrong in your spirit will not help.
Seek understanding, not agreement.
